    Unhappy Pivot Tables Incorrectly Sorting Dates

    Hi Everyone,
    I'm having an issue with my pivot tables. The date range is from November 2015 - April 2016. However, when I sort by date, it puts January on top. This error (likely my own misunderstanding) disrupts graphs, as it assumes January 2016 comes before Nov. 2015.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Re: Pivot Tables Incorrectly Sorting Dates

    It would help if you post a sample of you spreadsheet. Remove any sensitive data you don't want to share with the public.

    My best guess is you need to add the year to your date and adjust how Excel displays the date using custom date formatting. But I'm just guessing without a sample of your data.
